Marvellous Meeko, a two-year-old whippet cross, has both the looks and the charm to melt any heart and yet he is still searching for his perfect match.

Meeko is a Native American name of Algonquian origin meaning “little mischief”, which is very apt for the playful pup who is fun, loving and can be a little shy on first meeting. He would like to meet his special someone on more than one occasion for a bond to develop slowly. Once the bond is made, you will be surrounded by love with a loyal best friend in Meeko.

Conor O’Kane, Rehoming Centre Manager at Dogs Trust Ballymena, said: “All dogs want to love and be loved, and our fantastic rescue dogs are no different. Every dog owner knows, how much companionship, loyalty and love you receive from a dog when you welcome them into your heart and home.

“Meeko is a lovely, young lad who makes us laugh every day with his antics. His perfect love nest would be in a peaceful home, where he is the ‘one and only pet’ with someone who enjoys romantic walks in the countryside.

“For anyone not able to commit to rehoming a dog right now, we would encourage them to consider fostering. We are always looking for loving foster carers who can care for one of our rescue dogs on a temporary basis in their home until we find them their perfect love match.”
